Charged Particles

This was coded with lots of arrays and classes. The particles are emitted from your mouse (like drawing) and they are positively charged. So the + signs repel and the – signs attract. The mouse itself repels when it is not drawing particles. I might add some updates to this later.

If you just hold the mouse down in a fixed spot, you can see the path visualized by a stream of particles. The moment you let go, they burst from your mouse.

Flash player is great, so if you want no lag, just download it.

Update:

in this version, particles leave trails, and looks pretty after a while. click on the image to view.



————————
Update 2:

in this version, the lag bug is fixed completely and the attractors / repellers move. Xzibit was in it... but I took him out, because it messed with the beauty. (no trails here, but the point is that holding the mouse can make dynamic trails, since the attractors and repellors move).

Whadda you guys think? It's not a game, of course, but it's an interactive toy.

Crazy stuff... :o
Nicely done foodeater, what programming language did you use for this? (you programmed it right? ?)

Yes, i used actionscript 3.0. The script is over 150 lines long.

oh really nice, I'm just learning programming on college :]

Food, Ur crazy. In a good way.

Seconded.
;]

Wow,that's really quite cool.

Thanks for the feedback!


(I'm not in high school yet ;)

EDIT: Oh, and if you don't want the particles to die or your mouse to repel, here's an alternate version.


Edit: And here's another alternate version where they leave trails: http://shnitzelkiller.deviantart.com...-ver-117595222
